Artist Statement

​

My work bridges intuitive thoughts arising within, from deep silence, expresses it in symbols, through the experience of the relationship between inner and outer worlds, which flows into figurative, sculptural ceramic forms. The journey is finding integration, through inspirations from anatomical studies, Buddhist and Jain temple iconology, patterns in nature, engagements with traditional crafts and impressions from spiritual practices.
